Volkswagen pays out over second cheat device

AutoExec Summary
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated Volkswagen Group to amend fuel economy labels for approximately 98,000 petrol vehicles from 2013 to 2017. This action follows the discovery of software that altered transmission performance during tests, resulting in misleading fuel efficiency claims. A settlement of $US96.5 million will reimburse affected owners for understated fuel use. This follows previous revelations of VW’s diesel emissions cheating, which led to substantial fines and legal consequences for the company and its executives.
